THEY SAY:

lhaC lne campaign Is booming.
That II. b. Holmes is for Nichols
which is absurd.
That some of The candidates are
badly ratified.
| That q number Of gentlemen are
willing to step into Mr.. Gilfoil's
shoes.
That the Nichols men are be-
ginning to show some life in Mad
ison.
That what Mr.. Fleming is real V
running for, is deputy sheriffunder
Mr.. Mcclellan.
That it is great mistake 70
count your chickens before they
are Matched.
1hat.the report that Mr.. J. NJ.
Reigart proposes to run tor Repre-
sentative.is ridiculous.
That Montgomery is weight on
Mcclellan, and that Mcclellan is
weight on Montgomery.
That the article in the Item on
the Senatorship, is q beautiful and
instructive exhibition of lodging.
That OF the boosted 800 circula-
ton of the Item, less than 1OO-in
the parish--is paid for.
That by advocating the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Mcclellan, Mr.. Mont
gomery is practically endorsing the
Red Circular.
That the fact of Mr.. Fleming's
having sold his house in Tallulah,
indicates that he does not expect
to be elected sheriff.
That Holmes and Waddill have
made combination, by which Maj.
Waddill is to name the Police Jury,
which is also absurd.
That Stone is just as personally
popular as Montgomery,..and that
the sentimental weakness some
men have for the latter is getting
weaker.
That the endorsement of Nc
Clellan by the Mound Club was
not so unanimous as the published
proceedings, would indicate.
That when the Item claims to be
for true democracy, first, last and
all the time, it swallows the Red
Circular bodily.
That man, who, either directly
or indirectly, endorses the Red
Circular, has no right to question
anyone elsc's democracy.
That tho policy of claiming ev-
erything is too thin.
That Mr.. Blaine tried that plan,
but it wouldn't work.
That the grievance of Mr.. Mont
gomery against II. B. Holmes, is
som ething for them TO fight out,
and that the voters of the parish
have nothing at stake in it.
That Mr.. Mcclellan would have
to run the sheriff's office by proxy
if he got it-as his business af-
fairs would prevent him from giving
his time to it.
That when some East Carroll
men asked Mr.. Montgomery
whether he was for Nichols or Nc
Emery, that he hesitated and finally
said: Well l am for Montgomery
for the Senate.
That the Item has large editor
ial staff, that is, that it takes sever
al mon to edit the Item.
That what "they" mean by that,
Hs, that the editor of the Item has
a great deal of his matter written
for him.
That in 1884 Mr.. Montgomery
did not think it proper to get out
and do campaign work, because it
was not the proper thing for a cam
didate for the Senatorship, but,
that in 1887 he scuttles around So
Letting support for himself in a
rem arkably lively manner.

was not bodily seized by the nape OF
the neck and the basement OF the
trowsers and cast out of his position
q report of committee recommend
ing his discharge was accepted. Inc
report Is now the property OF the
council and though 1T does not mean
that Mr.. Shelton Is Ousted, 1t shows
that he hangs on by very slender
hold. However, Mr.. Shelton pro-
poses TO save the council any further
trouble by rendering his resignation.
Mr.. Shelton accepted the office be.
lieving that ordinances were passed
by the council to be enforced. He
did not consider that IT. was intend
ed to litter the local code OF laws
with a lot Of enactments full only OF
''sound and fury, signifying moth
ing" Acting upon this singular de-
lusiOn he at once commenced put
ting ordinances regarding street mat
ters in practice, and the result was,
while as a rule Spokane has better
regulated streets than most neigh
boring cities, Mr.. Shelton made a
great many enemies who will now
rejoice in his downfall. Men may
be found to take up the load where
he throws 1t off, but there are few
who will do more conscientious
work on the thoroughfares than Mr..
Shelton has done.

English Grain Market.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 5.--The leading
weekly grain circular says; Trade is
very dull and depressed, owing to near
approach of harvest and extraordi-
nary fine,weather here and on the
continent. Crops are reported to be
doing very well. Prices in country
markets are lower. Business is re-
stricted as millers abstain from buying
Cargoes off coast are down six pence.
At to-day's market there was fair at
tendance. Buying was retail, wheat
finest with limited sales at decline id
to 10. Flour was unchanged. Maize
was in fair demand I'D over Tuesdays

Police Court.

The police judge had busy time
yesterday. In the morning war.
rant was served on j. M. Donovan,
keeper of the Washington hotel, foI
maintaining a public nuisance. Mr.,
Donovan asked for a jury trial,
which was granted. The trial lasted
from / O'clock to 8. j, II. Dabney
appeared for the defense. His plea
was that his client had no intention
of maintaining nuisance. After a
few moments of consultation the
jury returned verdict of guilty and
set the fine at So and costs.
No sooner was this case disposed
of than a stranger was brought be-
fore the court charged with drunk
enness. He was fined 81 and costs.
Then followed the case OF the girl
Ruby, who had been accused OF
being in a saloon at late hour. She
was fined So and costs, and dismissed
with word of advice and warning
from Judge Booge.

A MINSTREL company called
"Negro," will this year dispense
with burnt cork, except as both end
men, and appear with white faces.
For twenty years the negro minstrel
has been gradually loosing his place
on the public boards. 1t was newt
able, that as soon as the negros was
freed, shows based upon his man.
ners and characterics would begin to
lose their foundation, and so they
have. The negro dialect first began
to disappear from these shows; then
the scenes Of negro life. To take
their place comes acrObatic burlesque,
and then a pair OF dancers, instead
of one, and then stage full Of
dancers. Eight end men instead Of
one, and soon the character of the
show changing constantly. Now the
blackened face is TO be discarded,
and it has long been an anomaly in
many places where it has been re-
tanned. In few years doubtless any
intimation of negro imitation at all
will disappear, and thus evolution
will bring us in a new kind of natur-
al face exhibitions.

FALLING INTO LINE.

The REVIEW had occasion a short
time since to demonstrate with tie
Western Union for the insuiiiciency
ofservice at this place, whereby the
press report is entirely neglected, or
held back to such Un hour that it Is
almost useless for any practical pur-
pose. 1t is not yet to be observed
that the gentle remonstrance has
had any effect in improving the SER
vice, still a hope is entertained that
by inducing the members Of the as
socated press on the northwest cir
cult to fall in line the evil complaint,
of which is serious matter to the
newspapers, may be remedied.
Spokane Falls is not the only suf-
ferer, as will be seen by the follow
ing editorial from the Helena Inde-
pendent upon the same subject:
"The Independent is getting sick
and tired OF the Western Union SER
vice at Helena and it calls for bet
terment. For months it has been
constantly getting worse until en-
| durance has ceased to be virtue.
The man in charge, instead of try
ing to serve the public and thus
serve his company, is evidently try
ing to make a record in
the eyes of his masters, re-
gardless of who else suffers.
To this end he is taking more
through business than he can ham
die and to push it forward is letting
local bnsInesS ruin its chances and
suffer most previously. OF late the
press reports, which by right and
contract are entitled to the prefer.
ence, are held back and laid aside In
order to give a mess of special slush
taken by San Francisco papers the
right Of way. The wire service IL
limited and the operative service
worse, and, as a consequence OF this
policy OF the manager, night press
reports frequently do not start until
midnight or thereabouts and are
still running when the Independent
goes to press. They should begin
not much later than 7 O'Clock, and
"3O" should be received at 1:30 or 2
q. m. That was the rule yea- ago,
and any delay was the exception.
Now the exception has become the
rule. We have made personal COM
plants until they have ceased to be
needed, and now we will avail our.
selves Of the glorious privilege OF
making public "kick." Instead OF
improving with increased business,
the Western Union service at Hell.

thinking no evil. When somebody tells you
something ugly about somebody else reply to

it sounds old fashioned to say 80. When you

grow thoughtful, but you will see beauty in

friends who are no longer In their twelites

THE amount of building now go
ing on in this place Is something
wonderful to persons who have
passed most of their lives in "steady
going' communities. But wonder
full as the present. rapid development
and improvement may seem, it is
not circumstance to what will be
undertaken and accomplished before
next summer. II all the plans now on
foot are carried out nearly every

ton of the city will be replaced with
substantial brick buildings. Spo-

Speaking editorially on this 'ignominious

upon for giving good broadside of light on
any point, admits, with grief, that man is
here shown to be as weak as woman, lte as

THE report that the .. II. u N.
Co. will at once begin the construc-
ton OF their branch line to this place
from Pennington seems to be well
founded, and 1t seems very probable
that we will SOON have another
great railroad system competing for
the carrying trade Of this region. II
is very likely that Spokane Falls
may be within few short years one
OF the great railroad centers OF the
west. The indications certainly all
point that way. Spokane Falls is
the natural center OF a great agricul-
tural and a great mining country
Her value as railroad center grows
naturally out of her situation.
